Louisville junior forward James Scott, a fan-favorite for his gritty play, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, per On3Sports. The 6’10” transfer from Charleston started 31 of 35 games in 2024-25, averaging 7.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 79 dunks, third-most in program history. Despite a facial fracture, he played every game with a custom mask. Scott joins three teammates in the portal (Patrick Antonelli, Cole Sherman, Koren Johnson), leaving his future uncertain as Louisville, coming off a 27-8 season, awaits his decision.
